Grass fed Member 1147, 7710 posts SQ 220, BP 185, DL 272.5 677.5 kgs @ 113kgs UnEq	when Ursus listed the comps Z's done over the years I was astounded he is still around! Think of the beating his body has taken over the last 15 years, its surprising he's still alive, let alone WSM! would rather see him retire now, right at the top of the game, than have a few years of not quite being top dog what is left for him to do?

tight in the hole Member 2057, 3121 posts SQ 205, BP 140, DL 260 605.0 kgs @ 95kgs UnEq	There was talk of him retiring last time he won as well. I also remember he said his goal was to win three WSMs, like his idol Kaz - which he's now achieved.

he's got betty davis eyes Member 1684, 6001 posts SQ 250, BP 186, DL 291 727.0 kgs @ 118kgs UnEq	martinb said: Yes, ideally I'd like him to do some sort of log championship and actually MAX out Then a raw powerlifting comp but he can be retired from strongman and still do those Hmmm, just imagine how much he could log if he spent a little while purely focused on that, having retired from the rest I would not want to see him retire, but I am sure noone would grudge him that, given the entertainmant he has provided over the years. The term Legend is used to freely now imo, but it hardly seems enough to sum up Z

Whilst I agree that it would look better if he retired as top dog rather than carry on and mess up his joints, slide down rankings etc, surely he's making good money? Would he not earn more from 2nd-5th position than he would doing whatever he'd do after he retires? I'd say financially he'd be better off competing a bit more as long as he doesn't do long term damage to his joints/health.

There is no money in strongman other than sponsorship, but if he retires he would be able to do TV and other things back home Look at Sammualson, he seems to have done very well for himself since he retired
